IM just sick with the chain of events

First the the air damshreds cracking my facia I gt that fixed for 900. Two weeks ago I BARELY rub up aganst a city Titty nd blow out my drivers side front. Road side assistance is no good so it cost me 100 to get her back to the house.

The chrysler approved tow guy (flat bed wrecker) smashes it again!!!!!!!!!
Tow chain comes off and pulls off the belly pan andcracks tha front facia. On the way up the flat bed the tire rolls off the rim and grinds the piss out of the rim so its now scarred up.

The dealership doesnt have the rs-a so I order it from Discount tire Ground form Georgia. Two weeks later still not here and cant find one in Dallas Texas.

I pull the rim off andfind the tranny pan leaking now!!!!!!!!!!


Im fed the ef up.

Sorry to hear of your mishaps. It appears that the cosmetic damages can or have been repaired. Too bad the flat bed truck driver didn't know how to properly tow your vehicle.

If there is any good news here it's that your SRT performance features are working flawlessly! As for the tranny fluid leak, it's probably the same one many LX owners have already experienced and had repaired free under a TSB.

Be careful and I hope you have your beautiful SRT back on the road soon.

Sorry to read of your sad chain of events. Yes they all do suck big time. I would hope the tow company would repair the damages to your vehicle’s fascia. The tranny fluid you’re seeing may be the simple problem with the “O” rings that quite a few of us have experienced. It really isn’t anything horrible, but disturbing none the less. (see link below) You may want to plan on buying an extra wheel and stashing it in the truck for those times of tire failure. Many of us have done that at the expense of trunk space. Better to lose trunk space than be stranded without a ride for awhile.

Hang in there; better times are coming for you and your beast.

I'm sorry to hear of all the unfortunate mishaps you're having. I think I would be a tad fed up as well. They say it comes in three's, so you should be good to go now. Hang in there! I feel your aggravation. You will get these things fixed and soon enjoy your ride once again. Good luck!

Holy crap, that's a lot for one person!!

Hopefully the tow company steps up, and this is the last of your troubles.
